A home or building may have a mold contamination or mold infestation problem if one or more of the following mold signs or mold clues is present---

One or more occupants is suffering from unexplained health problems such as an ongoing bloody nose, sinus problems, headaches, nose congestion, runny nose, skin rashes, skin sores, coughing, breathing difficulties, difficulty in remembering things and in thinking clearly, feeling disconnected from the world around you, chronic fatigue, and the many other mold symptoms explained in mold and health on in mold health symptoms. Please note that some occupants may have mold health symptoms, while others may have none, with all living or working in the same mold-infested area. People differ significantly in their sensitivity to mold.
One or more occupants smell mold inside the home, office, or other building. People differ significantly in their ability to smell mold. Even the smell of mold can make some people quite sick. If you can smell mold, there is a mold problem somewhere in the home or building!
You see mold growth anywhere inside the home or building, whether in or on the building or its contents.
Home or building organic or cellulose construction materials [wood drywall, etc.] have been wet for more than 24 hours from a flood, roof leak, water pipe leak or break.
During some or all of the year, the relative humidity inside the home or building exceeds 50 to 60%, thus providing enough moisture from the air to facilitate mold growth. Keep a home or building at a mold discouraging 30 to 40% with a programmable dehumidifier.
The home or building is located close to heavy plant or tree growth [a big source of airborne mold spores because of mold growth on decaying leaves and other plant parts] that facilitates the entry of airborne mold spores into the building through air movement through windows and doors, or close to a river, pond, lake, ocean, or other body of water, a physical location conducive to high humidity and mold growth.
Do it yourself mold test kits discover elevated levels of airborne mold spores in the air of the various rooms of the home or building, or its attic, basement, or crawl space, and/or in the air flow out of heating or air conditioning duct registers. Or hire a Certified Mold Inspector to thoroughly inspect and mold test your home, apartment, condominium, office, store or other building.
